    The climate of Pakistan is hot because it is located in a region that experiences high temperatures throughout the year. The country is mostly arid and semi-arid, with hot summers and mild winters. The temperature can often reach extreme levels, especially in the southern and central parts of the country. Additionally, Pakistan is influenced by the hot winds blowing from the Arabian Sea and the Thar Desert, further contributing to its hot climate.

    • A.

      Hot

      Mild

    • C.

      Cold

    Correct Answer
    A. Hot
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "hot" because the places near the equator experience high temperatures throughout the year. The equator receives direct sunlight, resulting in intense heat and little seasonal variation. This is due to the Earth's tilt and the equator's proximity to the sun. As a result, these regions have a tropical climate characterized by high temperatures and humidity.

    The movement of the Earth around the sun causes ______________

    • A.

      Rain

    • B.

      Clouds

    • C.

      Day and night

    Correct Answer
    C. Day and night
    Explanation
    The movement of the Earth around the sun causes day and night. As the Earth rotates on its axis, different parts of the planet are exposed to the sun's light, creating daylight. When a particular area is facing away from the sun, it experiences darkness, resulting in night time. This rotation of the Earth on its axis is what causes the regular cycle of day and night.

    • C.

      330

    Correct Answer
    A. 365
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 365 because it is the approximate number of days it takes for the Earth to complete one revolution around the sun. This is known as a solar year and is the basis for our calendar system.

      Rotation

    Correct Answer
    C. Rotation

    A. Revolution
    Explanation
    When the earth moves around the sun, it makes a revolution. This refers to the earth's orbit around the sun, completing one full revolution in approximately 365.25 days, resulting in the changing of seasons and the passage of time. The term "revolution" accurately describes this cyclical movement of the earth around the sun.

It includes various factors such as temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind patterns, and atmospheric pressure. Unlike weather, which can change from day to day, climate represents the long-term patterns and trends observed in a particular region. By studying climate, scientists can understand and predict the typical weather conditions that can be expected in a specific area.
